Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
scotty-61391 Never left a review but honestly if you are critiquing a film called robot overlords then I can imagine you leaving a food critic review for turd lasagne. At what point did you think a film called robot overlords would be a blockbuster, who do you think your helping!? It's obvious it is what it is! However I'm glad you took the time out of your schedule of complaining to your energy provider,bank,isp, water company and your local supermarket to state the obvious!P.s Don't be shite to the actors they've got bills to pay, your waisting your time for free! You are a fart on humanity you only serve a purpose to be laughed at get sick of and then forget :p
Prismark10 Robot Overloads is a film with an uneven tone aimed at teenagers and harking back to sci fi films of the 1960s. Comparisons have been made to Doctor Who, but that is lazy. The film lacks the warmth and heart of Doctor Who. A more apt comparison was a cheesy 1980s serial, Tripods.The setting is a planet occupied by Robot invaders who wish to study humans. Humans are confined to their homes, a strict curfew is imposed and monitored by implants in their necks.A group of kids set out to join the Resistance. One of them has the ability to interface and control the robots. Chasing them is a robot collaborator Mr Smythe (Ben Kingsley) who has the hots for one of the kids mom (Gillian Anderson.)The film was shot in the Isle of Man and Northern Island. There are some great mountain scenes, the special effects are very good and Kingsley and Anderson lend the film some class.The story was thin, even cheesy. The tone rather uneven for a film aimed at teenagers. Something never clicked and there were times the film was just drab and dull.
skot-21 Basic and by the numbers. I had extremely low expectations because It looked like a kids movie. Don't get me wrong, I'm well aware not everything made is going to be something I will enjoy but this kind of watered down rubbish is completely devoid of any value on any level what's so ever. It's a tired old plot, recycled and rehashed. Mailed in performances by the only two cast members with actual career (Kingley has been on a down slide since Iron Man 3, which I though he couldn't sink any lower) to the sci-fi channel level of CG, this film is a tragedy on so many levels and definitely not worth the time... clearly the people who made this didn't put any real thought or creativity into it. Robot designs were cheap, like Asylum Sharknado cheap, basically cubes, because cubes are easy to make in CG rather than designing complex, engaging robots that are visually interesting and worth showing off Instead we get cubes that are basically on screen very sparingly, either do to cost or embarrassment.All the positive reviews posted are clearly by people who either A.) have some connection to the cast crew or producers, or B) are just idiots, which is why garbage like this continues to get made. What a waste... too bad all the time effort and money was spent on this wasn't put towards something people would actually enjoy, rather than cranking out this. Completely unnecessary, nothing we haven't seen elsewhere with better craftsmanship and purpose. What a waste of a cool name and 90 minutes of my life, 90 minutes I will never get back.... do yourselves a favor, watch Red Dawn or any number of better films with the same plot, you know, the old "kids vs oppressors" troupe.
851222 Greetings from Lithuania."Robot Overlords" (2014) (THAT title!) is campy as hell, but entertaining as well. Turn your brains off, lower you expectations to a minimum, and if you love sci-fi genre no matter movies budget, you can enjoy it as well.I won't go into details of this movie plot, in short it would be : big transformer-type (can transform only to a box actually) alien robots overtake the earth and after some major battles (which due to budget issues were left off screen of course) makes a curfew - all human must stay inside of their houses. Some of them ( Ben "The Paycheck" Kingsley) work for robots as the some sort of supervision of people. After some blah blah blah happens our main hero gets some superpowers and it's time to kick some robot's as-xx. (THAT story!). As offensive or ironic i might sound, but i actually enjoyed this movie for what it is - a low budget sci-fi adventure. Speciall effects are actually pretty good here, and i even enjoyed them more then in recently seen "Insurgent" - seriously. Ben Kingsley - i have no idea what he thought when reading this script - probably as an Englisman tried to help his countrymen in giving his name in this movie - there are no other explanation here, he couldn't do it for money, even N.Cages has more self respect.Overall, turn you brains out, lower your expectations, and skip 4.6 rating at IMDb - this movie is fun if you are willing to go with the plot and premise. It is definitely not bad flick, there are far more worse big budget extravagances out there then this low-budget flick.
